[simpits-tech] Friday Humour - a dilemma

[Steve Wilson]

Roy, on a forum site where people go to post their OT BS and can pick and
choose what they read, I'd agree with you.  But when such threads mean
numerous emails for everyone on the list regardless of their interest in the
topic, I can't say I agree nor that the protest is a "whine."  Not everyone
has a broadband connection, and lots of folks don't use an online email
browser, and so are forced to waste bandwidth downloading something they may
rather avoid.  I've seen times when this crowd went far afield and there was
more OT than simpit.
